For the first time of history of Embrio, band is consisted of 6 members. Preparations for the 3rd album have begun. On a sad day of 21 of July 2007., on a saturday around 5 pm, the day after concert called “Resurrection“, band has confronted to the tragic loss of brother, friend and the most important member of Embrio, Branimir Vugdelija who sadly passed away. That was certainly the hardest day for Embrio. Despite the crushing blow to bands heart and irreplaceable loss, band decides to keep up with work, and considers that Branimir himself would have desired it like that. Role of the vocalist was taken by Petar Radovic and for a new keyboardist Embrio recruits a good friend, Josip Markovic, who meanwhile played in black/goth band Frivolous Stir from Split. Band starts to write a new chapter surrounded by enormous support of numerous fans and Branimir. It took a bit of time to get back on track but with strong will and huge desire to live on stage again the band came back. Now performing around more than ever. Quality of performance also went to the next level and Embrio was really well accepted! Can be said that Embrio evolved. One fact certainly helped alot to it. Embrio got the chanse to play on Slovenian Metal camp second stage. It was an awesome gig, with awesome audience. Embrio members are proud of the fact that we got more audience than some bands at the main stage and that was a huge boost of moral. Ofcourse it is just the begining of something bigger in future... Now looking forwards to get signed and all the neccessary stuff to show the world something we love and enjoy doing.
